What is a good competitive moveset for Scyther? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Scyther is an interesting Bug and Flying-typed Pokemon. Scyther is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. Scyther is typically seen in the UU tier (Underused). There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Scyther is weak to Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock-typed attacks.
Scyther is a remarkable Physical Sweeper. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. In the old days before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Wing Attack is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Flying-type move that deals damage. ♦ Steel Wing is a physical 70-base power Steel-type move (10% chance to raise your Scyther's defense by 1 stage). ♦ Rock Smash is a physical 20-base power Fighting-type move (50% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage). ♦ Reversal is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (more power the less hp your Scyther has left).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
